npckc's gentle story games

All eight games from npckc in one place, from cozy tea-shop talks to eerie night shifts. Find one that fits how you feel and what you want to explore.

If you like short, character-led games, this collection from npckc gives you plenty to try. In A TAVERN FOR TEA you mix drinks to comfort visitors, in a pet shop after dark you look after animals while keeping the lights on, and in Marron's Day you help neighbors get ready for a festival. Across all eight titles the focus stays on small tasks, warm or tense moods, and stories about belonging, care and getting through hard days.
